Oh, the procedure was fine. 40 minutes after I was called out of the waiting room I walked out and had zero issues. And also zero swimmers since. All good there.

But when I had the first appointment, he asked me if I was really sure and if my wife knew and was also fine with it. But I know that it depends on the doctor.

To be fair, men also get asked if they’re really sure by some doctors when going in for a vasectomy. Even when closing in on 50 and with three kids at home. But as long as they perform the procedure I don’t care.

She is 43? The hell. I had no idea she was about my age.

Can you spoke readen English, though?

I don’t understand how private trackers are supposed to be secure. They cannot guarantee that they keep out all bad actors and that means they’re basically the same as public trackers, just more exclusive and with a slightly lower risk because of the barrier of entry. I used MyAnonamouse in the past and back then they weren’t big fans of VPNs. But I will never use any tracker without a VPN.

What the Jesus Fucking Christ

The best Hello World I saw used a random library. Because there’s no true random without hardware, the author figured out the correct seed to write Hello World with “random” characters. I’ve used that to show junior devs that random in programming doesn’t mean truly random.

I think you might be onto something there.

Farming is god-awful if your livelihood depends on it. I’d rather be a carpenter or a metalworker once I’m fed up with that computer stuff.

I would absolutely love to have an EV. But they are very expensive, especially compared to the gas-powered car I already own.

I don’t think that holds true in all scenarios. You need to use a key that has some guarantees. In many systems you will use data you don’t control, like email addresses, IBANs, ISBNs, passport IDs and many more. You have zero control over those keys, but because each comes with certain guarantees, they might be suitable as a foreign key in your context.

A small robot apocalypse!

Yeah, but these aren’t the artists, just the big music publishers who are just as predatory as Spotify.

Oh, I missed the point where religions where headed by sane, competent men of sound mind and body.

I had no idea Lego made Barad-dur. And for the low price of $460.

The Shock by Marc Raabe, a mystery thriller. His books just tick all the right boxes for me. Although I like his latest books better, the older ones are fun too.

I really liked City of Stairs. Just last week I saw it in my book case and remembered I wanted to read the other books from that series. But I have the same problem. So many books and other hobbies and not nearly enough time to make a serious dent in the TBR pile.

One of the few cases where I liked the movie better.

Most of the world does not have English as a first language and thus the meaning of the word “gimp” is not widely known. Personally I do agree that the name is dumb, but it’s a very English as a first language issue. My daughter is learning to do basic stuff with GIMP in school because it’s free. The name is not an issue because nobody knows what a gimp is.

Have activists ever thrown paint at you?
